Scrivener files apparently not syncing
Hi! I've been using Dropbox to sync my Scrivener files across my Macbook Pro, Mac Mini, iphone and ipad. This has been working beautifully for years. I updated Scrivener on my desktop, and now dropbo...
Hi CandaceHunter, thanks for bringing this to our attention.
Since this occurred after updating Scrivener, is it possible that the newer version makes some changes to the way the scriv files are being made?
You mentioned that the files have a cloud icon on them. Could you try first marking the file as available offline, and then see if it opens normally on your machine?
This will help me to assist further!
I searched the Scrivener forum. There, I discovered that Dropbox will randomly choose to "update" and make files no longer available offline. That appears to be what happened to the files with the cloud. I control-clicked the folder for Scrivener in my dropbox folder and chose Make Available Off-line. Now, those files are opening in Scrivener on my MacBook Pro again.
It'd sure be nice if Dropbox would have told me that they were changing how they were going to classify my folders/documents before they made the change and maybe told me what ot do to change them back if I needed to do so after their updates. I spent easily an hour searching about trying to fix a problem that really shouldn't have been a problem in the first place.
